Mobile Car Wash Push Carts for Africa to Provide Jobs

Many people in Africa would like to stArt a business and it is hard to find a business that is easy to do and does not cost much to stArt. I propose that we make possible very low cost mobile wash push-cArts that could be used to clean automobiles and also used for cleaning. The wash-cArts could be built with a plastic water tank, which help 50-60 gallons of water and have a very inexpensive pressure washer on it that was durable and needed little if any maintenance to work. The pressure washer would run off very low batter power source.

The battery could be charged by solar panels, which would be pArt of the top of the push-cArt. Other units for the city could be made to run off fuel and have very small low power generators. By keeping the cost down very low the return on investment would be doable and micro-loans could be made to stArt the commerce going. Training could also be done very easily and up to 20 of these cArts could be put in each major city to be pushed around on car-wash routes and work in a zone defense pattern.

One business person could buy all the cArts and rent them out to individuals, as independent contractors and store the car wash push cArts at their building or yard at night then stock them with fuel, water and supplies each day. Or individuals could purchas e them and run their own businesses. Either way this would be a good business and improve the quality of life in the city for many people and that would be a very positive thing indeed.

By providing mobile type service businesses more people who are willing to work hard could in fact get off the streets and therefore also employ people to help them wash the cars and perhaps this could provide 3-jobs per mobile wash cArt. I have been in the mobile car wash business for 27 years and have designed such a unit and believe these should be built in Africa to also provide jobs and then the entire project would be self-sustaining. Consider all this in 2006.
